Yes today you are able to place preorders on the TPCast addon for your HTC Vive! Still it's in need of some updates (Camera Support, Integration of WIFI router in Transmitter unit) It's a bit pricy to be an addon to the VR headset, you should get a second battery / spare battery included for that price! Makes me think, do I need it? Probably not! However as it's been a long wait and I can't resist it at the moment, so I just preordered it.... You find it at www.tpcastvr.com from this day! /J

Today it's the 1'st of September 2017 and guess! YOU CAN NOW PREORDER THE TPCAST...... (Work fine in Europe - Just placed the order on Webhallen in Sweden) Just run away to WWW.TPCASTVR.COM and start booking! Seems that the camera is still not supported, but might be fixed in the future! (Guess it still will be better than beeing stucked with the cables...) The WIFI router is still not integrated / built in to the transmitter. (Might be in Gen 2 of the TPCast unit...) Delivered with a Large battery, that's great! But how do I order a spare/second battery? /J

Announced very early! (Guess to early!) It might appear after christmas maybe.. (As a Joke) Thing to check before any ordering is if they did solve the issues with Camera support and Microphone etc? Maybe other versions using 5 / 2.4 GHz bands would be an alternative, but even there u can’t see a delivery date...

Well this is due to the wireless connection using the 60GHz band and it needs like a clear line of sight to be optimal, so best placement is on your head apparently. Other lower frequency solutions at 2.4-5GHz is not that sensitive and can be placed on your hip or in your pocket Even if those devices "KwikVR / Rivvr" supports both Vive and Rif looks tempting alternatives, they have a higher latency! (Most due to compresson of data needed to send info on a smaller WIFI channel/pipe). Guess the TPCast do not need same kind of compression as it should be able to use a wider channel for transfering more data in paralell resulting in lower latency. /J

Ok we got a date for the Deluxe Audio Strap! But are there any updates about the TP-Cast and when it will be available in EU, some rumours says Q2 but are there any dates? And will it be available on the Vive shop?

So we are waiting and waiting for the "TP-Cast" and "Deluxe Audio Strap" Any news? When will we be able to order those in Europe? (Audio strap, still shown as a "New" item in store but not orderable, im getting insane...) Will the TP-Cast unit be available in the HTCVive store or will it be sold in other channels? Will we be able to preordering (In Europe), book them as of today or soon? Will there possibly be a bundle deal to get both the Audiostrap and the TP-Cast unit? (To go wireless in comfy way.) Really looking forward to get those asap to make it more awesome... Regards Johan

I wanted to order the new "Thinner one" as the one i got with my Vive is the one with 3 cables and it's heavy, how ever the sales support could not guarantee that you get the thinner one if you order it online so I decided not to order it! The reason for my request was that I saw the image of the deluxe audio strap and it had the thin cable on the side and not on the back of your head and i suspect that putting all cable load (Thick cable) on the side of the new "Deluxe Audio Strap" might be an issue for some users! So I will simply wait and see when ever the "Deluxe Audio Strap" is released, hopefully it will be released at the same time as the TP-Cast unit as a bundle so we can get rid of the cable once for all!
